[Verse 1]

And all of my heart is broken

But the salt of my wounds

Will never follow you around

I will never make a sound

And taking every step in fear

If only you could hold me close

Am F

This time I think I'm bound to stay alone

[Verse 2]

And last night was the first time

We inched close to cyanide

Am F

Our blood red as beetroot tonight

Can show you the skies, they felt orange

They held me in solace

Just whisper my name

I'll never let you go

[Chorus 1]

Baby, can you hold me close, please?

And tell me all your stories, So I can sleep in peace

Am F

Baby, can you whisper my name?

I could never swim in sorrows

But tomorrow always follows

Am F

So I tie up my lips for you, babe

C Em

Silently, we break our key, see?

Am F

Can we open doors?

C Em

Shyly find me, wine me kindly

Am F

Kiss me as I drown

C G

And as I drown, and as I drown

Am F

And as I drown, and as I drown

C G

And as I drown, and as I drown

Am Fm

And as I drown, and as I drown

[Verse 3]

And if only your love could hold me

If your arm switches and fold me

Am F

I would tie up my lungs for you baby

C G

As I drown, and as I drown

Am F

And as I drown, and as I drown

C G

And as I drown, and as I drown

Am Fm

And as I drown, and as I drown
